so I have heard some not so great reviews of the JKS disco's? Have they improved the design any? are the "Quicker Disconnects " any better? should I get them ?

the discos and the "quick disconnects" are the same.....they are a good product ... but you have to modify the jeep a bit before they go on properly

I just saw they had "Quick Disco" and "Quicker Disco" I didn't realize the KJ was only listed for the "Quicker"

6 18mm bolts and your disco'd. That's an option. I've got it down to 3-5 minutes.

With my electric impact mine could be off in about 1.5 minutes :wink:

I know FreeJeep is happy with his. I use my own system that consists of only removing two bolts and is similar to the JKS setup, but not for everyone.

I'm happy with mine as well...but as others have stated there is a little prep work to make sure these things aren't noisy.

I had no issue with noise or ride on the road. The only problem I ever had with them was snapping the lanyards that holds it up when discoed. Because I got some of the really early ones, my insructions didn't have the part about removing the ABS sensor tab. Once that was gone, I had no more problems at all.

Maybe with the combo of Frankenlift and 3" wider stance due to my Cragars but I couldn't get the QD to work in all possible ups, downs, lefts, right. Always found a way to break that danged lanyard.

Two bottom links and 4 bolts that mount the bar.

you take the whole bar off each time? I thought you just meant disconnecting it

Yeah, he's not the only one that does that. It makes a lot of sense if you don't mind taking the time. I bought the JKS discos, but, to be honest, I'm thinking it may be better to just remove the bar. In fact, I may remove it for the Moab trip, just so I don't have to worry about the lanyard snapping.

Yup. The whole bar. But there's very few trails where you need this kind of flex. So I don't disco for every run. Calico, some Moab, some Big Bear. In my neck of the woods, Deer Creek, Slick Rock.

Comes off real easy. Putting back on takes a little practive fishing the bar and links in between the control arms but once you see how its done it's really simple.
